INTRODUCTION

Some of the strengths of this undergraduate/graduate level textbook are the gentle introduction to proof in a concrete setting, the introduction of abstract concepts only after a careful study of important examples, and the gradual increase of the level of sophistication as the student progresses through the book. A number theory thread runs throughout several optional sections, and there is an overview of techniques for computing Galois groups. The book offers an extensive set of exercises that help to build skills in writing proofs. Chapter introductions, together with notes at the ends of certain chapters, provide motivation and historical context, while relating the subject matter to the broader mathematical picture.

Abstract algebraic systems An Abstract Algebraic System is a tuple of the form . In this is a set, f i s are function symbols of some arity , R i s are predicate symbols of some arity and is an interpretation of these symbols on the set. If no predicate symbols are present then S is an Algebra (or a Universal Algebra). We allow 0-ary operations in the above, so distinguished elements must be interpreted as 0-ary operations.

ALGEBRAABC ... CONTACT entire Web this site abstract algebra To a mathematician, real life is a special case. Algebra that is not confined to familiar number systems, such as the real numbers , but seeks to solve equations that may involve many other kinds of system. One of its aims, in fact, is to ask: what other number systems are there? The term "abstract" refers to the perspective taken in the subject, which is very different from that of high school algebra. Rather than looking for the solutions to a particular problem, abstract algebra is interested in such questions as: When does a solution exist? If a solution does exist, is it unique? What general properties does a solution possess? Among the structures it deals with are groupsrings , and fields . Historically, examples of such structures often arose first in some other field of mathematics, were specified rigorously (axiomatically), and were then studied in their own right in abstract algebra.

Abstract algebra is the field of mathematics concerned with the study of algebraic structures such as groupsrings and fields . The term "abstract algebra" is used to distinguish the field from " elementary algebra " or "high school algebra" which teaches the correct rules for manipulating formulas and algebraic expressions involving real and complex numbers Historically, algebraic structures usually arose first in some other field of mathematics, were specified axiomatically, and were then studied in their own right in abstract algebra. Because of this, abstract algebra has numerous fruitful connections to all other branches of mathematics. Examples of algebraic structures with a single binary operation are:
